Chapter 45They were filled with silence, staring at each other's eyes. Aemon was ignoring the guild that was knocking on his chest. He was being tempted to tell her the truth, but the fear of losing her is pulling him back. "Are you hiding something, Aemon?" Lily repeated for the second time. It was a chance for him to tell it to her, but he couldn't speak. He was indeed lost for words that he couldn't utter anything. "Aemon,""I'm not hiding anything from you, Lily." He answered with firmness and truth. That is what he made. Aemon chose not to tell her the truth when he had the chance to. Lily was still eyeing him, not moving from those eyes. She was trying to read his exquisite eyes that were always blank before, like a piece of empty paper. Until now, she couldn't read anything from those eyes. She cannot even tell if he's telling her the truth. He isn't giving her the benefit of the doubt. "Okay," Lily uttered bitterly. Their plan to have a boodle fight happened. But then, it
Chapter 46"We must make a huge step," the woman said with a playful smile playing on her lips. It was a smell of victory that was almost near their hands. "Fvck! That is what I'm telling you! We can easily ruin their marriage with that crime," the man cackled and clapped his hands like a champion. They were both on top of the world. The fact that Aemon was the one behind the death of Lily's father spice everything up in their plan. "We should scare them a little bit, to make it more fun." The woman suggested, planning everything in her head. "We have to add fuel to the fire," the man commented. "Why don't we kidnap Lily's mother? We will hide her for real until they all go crazy looking for her," the man suggested with his evil smile. They were both looking at each other with everything running in their heads. "Lily is mad at her mother," the woman uttered. The man nodded with his high-spirited smile, "She is. But she could never let her mother die," he caressed her soft cheeks
Chapter 47"Lily!" Aemon shouted when she drove the car so fast and left them all in the event. "What the hell is happening?!" he yelled out loud to Leonora, Frederick and Rafael who were with her earlier. "I don't know, she was just talking with someone on her phone." Leonora explained with so many questions as well. The people are looking around as chaos. All of them have no idea what's going on. Lily just left angry and panicked without telling them a word. "I think she was being threatened," Frederick answered as they were all outside. "Maybe the one who called her is using her mother to scare her." He added, completing the puzzle. "Aemon, I don't want a mess in my Grand Opening." Their grandmother said firmly. "Move your fvcking ass! We're following her," Leonora said immediately and pulled themselves back to their senses. Aemon didn't talk anymore and grabbed the keys of his grandmother. "I apologize. There's an emergency with my grandsons and granddaughters," their Grandma
Chapter 48"Who are they?" the guard asked as he stopped the car parked in front of the gate. It was a moment of silence. There was no move from the person inside the car. The man couldn't see who was the driver because the car was tinted. Slowly, the car's door opened and a woman came out of the car, wearing a black tube dress. "Hi, there." She greeted. "Who are you?" The guard asked. It gives him chills to see the woman's devilish smile on her lips. At first glance, she couldn't be trusted. "I just have to get someone from here," she uttered. The woman was playing around and he could feel it. The fear began to burst from him but he remained standing in front of them, fulfilling his duties to the job he has. "I will ask my boss if she knows you fi—" one shot from her gun and the man fell on the ground along with the blood that began to spread on the ground. No one heard it because of the silencer. "Get her!" she ordered as soon as her smile dropped from her lips. All his men par
Chapter 49"Don't leave yet," Aemon's secretary stopped as soon as Lily made her to. All their eyes were drawn at her, confused about what was happening. "What's the matter?" Frederick asked Lily as he went near her after seeing the scene that was happening. "Lily, what's happening?" Aemon asked and now looked at his secretary who was still not facing them. They were all waiting for her to face them. Slowly, she pulled herself to finally face Lily Cooper. Her eyes were sharp and blank like a piece of blank paper. It was true, those lovely eyes of hers can also give goosebumps. Those were unreadable. She couldn't figure out what was running through her mind. "Hello, Mrs. Cooper…it's been a while," she greeted and gave her a wide soft smile. Lily focused and remained her eyes from her. She knew at that moment that it was exactly the voice of that woman on the phone. But then, Lily stayed on act. She kept her head up as she began to walk towards her, wearing a tender—but deceiving smi
Chapter 50"You have beautiful and healthy hair, Lily." Her mother uttered while combing her hair gently. They were both in front of the mirror and Lily was watching the huge smile on her mother's face. That smile was her favorite smile among all the smiles in the world. It always shines and it calms her in many aspects. Everytime she looks at her, she sees a million reasons why her father is so in love with her. She's like a gem that everyone wants to have and steal from his father. "It's because you always take care of it," the young Lily said with a sweet smile. "I will always take care of you, Lily." She answered, filled with love. "I have a question, Mom." The young Lily said. Her eyes were filled with curiosity, exploring everything in this world. "Go on, feel free to ask." Her mother said and continued combing her red hair. "Do you love Dad?" she asked. It was all of a sudden that her mother froze temporarily with that question. Lily was young at the moment, and she wasn't
Chapter 51"I found this in your Mom's house," Lily's Uncle said. "Sir Frederick," his two men arrived and intervened from the evidence that her Uncle brought them. "What is it?" he asked immediately. "She's the traitor," they confirmed before giving the envelope in their hands to Frederick. Lily quickly went at him as he remembered that he made them follow her and investigate her. "Wait, what's happening here?" Aemon asked with confusion. "Frederick investigated your secretary," Paul uttered beside him. There are pictures inside the brown envelope. It was his secretary, going to an abandoned place and wearing different clothes. Those pictures don't look like her. She looks wealthy and different from what they have seen of her. "I was right," Lily commented. "I told you that it was her voice, Aemon…I almost got her!" She exclaimed furiously. That woman was already in her hands. She was near to kill her only if Aemon didn't meddle up. "Call Leonora," Frederick said to Rafael.
Chapter 52"Go shoot me and I will kill your mother…try me, Lily." The secretary said with her sharp eyes at Lily. Their guns remained pointing at them. Lily was holding it tight in her grip, wanting to kill the two of them right now. There are guns pointing at them with the laser pointing on their chests. "You'll be dead if you shoot us," Dash said pertaining to the laser on their chests. But then, the two of them didn't even move. They didn't even blink, not even once as if they do not care about death at all. What only stop them is Lily's mother that was in their hands. "You can never threat us," Leonora said firmly. As soon as she finished her words, the two men behind them fell on the floor and their blood began to spread around with all the shots they have received. "Just on time," Lily's Uncle said as his men attacked from the back. Lily and Leonora took that chance to help them attack and clear the area. "Shoot, Lily!" The secretary said as she pointed the gun again to her
